  • Ditto!! <3 He was my best friend. He was so special. He tried telling us of our miscarriage before we knew. He knew when his adopted brother was going to die. He got me through a lot of past trauma. He was invincible; it was his name (Muteki, invincible in Japanese). But he couldn't beat his failing kidneys. We buried him in our back yard. I still bring him pistachios to play with; they were his absolute favorite "toy".

    Thank you for responding and may the memories of yours live forever.

  • Absolutionist garbage.

    Granted, it's a low percentage of initiatives that are reaching their goals, typical of many new initiatives, but it's certainly not none. The majority of research and data on DEI initiatives shows that they are benefiting a majority of employees, despite only 5% of initiatives meeting their goals.

    It's like saying all weightloss routines are bullcrap because nobody ever meets their weightloss goals.

  • Sorry for your loss.

    Our 19 year old also had kidney failure, and we spent every minute with him as well. On his last night, the sunset was in every direction, a full 360° sunset. April 30th was his last day and I will always miss him. He was Muteki; he was invincible.

  • Czar Nikolai II, last reigning Emperor of Russia, killed by firing squad along with his family. The bodies were driven to nearby woodland, searched and burned. The remains were soaked in acid and finally thrown down a disused mineshaft.

  • Same thought. Try kagi search. Search is better, I believe they use their own indexing, and you're their customer, not the product, so there's incentive to providing good service to customer instead of being treated like cattle and it shows!

  • I was taking the comment thread (about how dangerous this could be in photographic evidence) a step further by imagining a hypothetical techno-distopian future where corporate controlled AI alters photos to make them look better, but in reality, it creates a back door where incriminating evidence can be created.

  • edit: since it wasn't obvious to readers, this is a hypothetical of a techno-distopian future...

    Imagine taking a selfie only to see an image of you holding a knife. But there are no knives in your hands. Another snap. Same image displays on the screen, but there's a person of particular importance in the background. You turn your head but are all alone. Nobody is around. You're starting to freak out. Are you being pranked, maybe your phone has been hacked. Another shutter sound effect and you see an image of yourself over a victim. You frantically open your camera's gallery, thinking your eyes are fooling you, but the photos are the same. And are sent to the cloud. Deleting isn't allowed, AI detected felonious imagery. You've been reported to multiple agencies. You are alone. There are no knives in your hands.
